Today, the Dallas Morning News again pointed out how far behind Texas is from the rest of the country when it comes to health care . As I’ve argued before, this is because of the extensive privatization of health care in Texas which throws people out to fend for themselves in the “free market,” resulting in more uninsured than the rest of the nation.
John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, thinks the numbers put out by the Census highlighting Texas’ plight are “misleading:”
But the numbers are misleading, said John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a right-leaning Dallas-based think tank. Mr. Goodman, who helped craft Sen. John McCain’s health care policy, said anyone with access to an emergency room effectively has insurance, albeit the government acts as the payer of last resort. (Hospital emergency rooms by law cannot turn away a patient in need of immediate care.)

We all know Mike Huckabee, Sam Brownback, Fred Thompson, and Tom Tancredo are conservatives. Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain also called themselves conservatives. Sometime in this past year I wrote about how the word conservative doesn’...... more

Okay, so John McCain is finally the President of Missouri , thanks to 3,000 people who couldn’t stay the fuck home on Election Day. THANKS, YOU GUYS. Now we’ll never be rid of McCain and his horrible Alaskan spouse with her stolen wardrobe and hillbilly-like crowd of pregnant, barefoot children. When they move to their Presidential mansion in Independence, will they sleep in the same bed with Joe the Plumber, all wearing little night caps like little cartoon ... more

Aló Presidente From: theseminal.com Post Date: 2007-03-29 12:41:32

…he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed
I think it wouldn’t be a stretch to consider this the most basic job of the President. He is called the Chief Executive for a reason. So what has been learned over the past week?
Today’s case: When the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in 2007 that the EPA and the federal government had to actually follow the... more
This ad, designed by The Seminal, is running in today’s Washington Post as well as other DC-area newspapers:
Blue America and Color Of Change are targeting Steny Hoyer, the architect of the FISA "compromise," calling him out for legalizing wiretapping American citizens.
We should never forget that one of the abuses that originally forced Congressional and Judicial oversight of government wiretaps were the illegal eavesdropping on civil rights era leaders like Malcolm X, Martin L... more
